TL;DR: In this paper, the stability analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) cantilever retaining walls, accounting for uncertainties in the design variables in the framework of probability theory, is presented, where the first order reliability method (FORM), second order reliability (SORM), and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method are used as alternative ways to evaluate the probability of failure associated with the sliding failure of retaining walls of various heights (ranging from 4 to 8 m).

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of pile spacing, number of piles, and configuration on displacement and bending response of pile groups in clay under dynamic lateral loading were investigated, and strong group interaction leads to significant differences in bending profiles of different row piles of the groups.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined a radius ratio (ri/ro) which is the ratio of the inner radius (ri) to outer radius (ro) of the ring footing.

TL;DR: In this paper, a radial point interpolation method (RPIM) with polynomial reproduction is proposed to model the two-dimensional contaminant transport through saturated porous media using a mesh-free method, which is constructed entirely in terms of a set of nodes and no characterisation of the nodes is needed.

TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) was carried out for the archaeological site of Vijayapura in south India in order to obtain hazard consistent seismic input ground-motions for seismic risk assessment and design of seismic protection measures for monuments.
